Construction

From bid to job site.

General or specialty contractors — you juggle bids, mobilizations, project tracking, equipment management, subcontractors and compliance. Without a central system, information gets lost — and margin with it.

What we build for you

  • Bid pipeline from initial scoping to signed contract
  • Visual job site tracking with real-time status across every project
  • Subcontractor and trade coordination on a shared schedule
  • Real-time project costs (labor, materials, subcontracting)
  • Purchase orders, accounts payable and multi-level approval workflows
  • Equipment management — location, maintenance, hourly costs
  • Canadian accounting, construction payroll and GST/QST compliance
  • Progress billing and contractual holdbacks automated
  • Vendor invoice OCR and AI alerts on predictable delays
  • Document management — permits, plans, certifications, safety
Municipalities & government

Compliance, transparency, deliverables.

Municipalities, RCMs, Crown corporations, paragovernmental organizations — you operate in a framework where documentation rigor and traceability aren't optional. RFPs, grants, archives, accountability reporting: every process leaves a trail, every trail is auditable.

What we deploy for you

  • RFP pipeline — from posting to award, with full bidder tracking
  • Grants management — applications, usage tracking, accountability to funders
  • Multi-level approval workflows with complete audit trails
  • Public-sector accounting with sovereign Canadian hosting
  • Centralized purchasing, contracts and POs with budget control
  • Tracking of municipal programs and public performance indicators
  • Citizen requests centralized (services, public works, urban planning, IT)
  • Decision-ready briefs prepared for councils, committees and commissions
  • Payroll and HR aligned with public-sector collective agreements
  • Document management compliant with archival requirements
Manufacturing

From raw material to shipping.

Manufacturing SMBs, machine shops, processors — you orchestrate purchasing, production, quality, inventory and shipping, often on tight margins and with deadlines set by your customers. The ERP becomes the nervous system that synchronizes everything, from PO to the truck leaving the dock.

What we assemble for you

  • Custom quoting pipeline and client configuration tracking
  • Production orchestrated by MRP — material requirements and shop capacity
  • Multi-level bills of materials (BOM) and production routings
  • Cost calculated per product, lot or manufacturing order
  • Multi-warehouse inventory with FIFO/FEFO, barcodes and traceability
  • Order book, customer milestones and shipping-deadline tracking
  • Purchase orders, accounts payable and approval workflows
  • Non-conformity management and real-time quality indicators
  • R&D roadmap and new product development
  • AI-powered demand forecasting to smooth purchasing and production
Why Horizon Nord

Three things that change the equation.

Native bilingualism

Configuration, training, documentation: all delivered in your team's language. Essential for public contracts and mixed teams.

Local knowledge

Construction labor regulations, GST/QST, Quebec payroll. We speak your operational and tax vocabulary — not Boston's or Paris's.

Milestone approach

First deliverable in 4 to 6 weeks. You see value early, you adjust, you avoid the 18-month project that ends off-route.

Does your industry have its own specifics?

Manufacturing, professional services, non-profits, distribution — we work with other sectors too. One consultation is enough to see whether our methods fit your context.
